That afternoon was hot. His previously ailing leg has now been wrapped in shoes he took or in rough language he stole earlier when he knew his condition was not possible to be taken to the settlement.
Not too far away, his eyes caught a black horse that was larger than a horse in general and looked gallant with its long shiny hair, out of nowhere. But, Ryura was certain that it did not belong to the victims of the poor merchant entourage. Because, even from a distance he could see some of the horses were brown and normal-sized in general.
Moreover, the horse that Ryura was currently looking at was not on a deserted road in the middle of the forest but rather entered from the side of the road into the forest next to him and was eating the dense grass beneath.
Just like Ryura in his previous life, this is how he is in his present life. Where the horse to neigh surprised because it did not realize the presence of a human who suddenly appeared from behind him.
Yes, Ryura always appears suddenly making anyone unaware of his presence. This was also the reason he was nicknamed the 'Living Ghost'.
The horse wanted to run away from Ryura immediately, but something unusual seemed to happen.
Ryura's touch, tame it.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other as if they were diving into the depths of each other with Ryura's hands moving around the horse's strapping neck which now had his head slowly lowered like he was showing respect.
Ryura only tilted his head slightly in astonishment when he saw how easy it was to bow a horse at this time. Reminds him when he was young in the modern world, where he and his two friends took horse riding lessons. He also chose a dark-colored horse, whether it was black or dark brown. He prefers black.
And just like today, he could always easily tame the animal he was touching. Unlike the two friends who need time, especially Reychu because often behaved that does not make the horse he rides reluctant to ride by him.
"You're a wild horse?" ryura asked, knowing that she would not get an answer like a human, she still asked him to speak. As in his previous life, at this time he seemed to be able to understand what the animal was trying to convey.
"Fheurrbb..." Approximately like that sound that he let out until his lips move and look funny, but unfortunately it did not make Ryura pull the goods just a little corner of his lips.
"Then, what are you doing here?" his jade as he continued to stare at the dazzling black pus horse. "Aren't you afraid of the hunt?" tanyanya.
As if understanding, the horse instead raised its head that had previously lowered parallel to Ryura's head and behaved respectfully, instead, now the head of the horse looked up haughty like he wanted to tell Ryura that he could not be easily hunted.
"really?" ryura asked in disbelief despite still putting on her poker face. His intention was just to talk, I don't know he was made to fall in love at first sight on the horse in front of him.
"But now you've been caught by me. How's it?" ask her again by acting like a hunter. However, the question actually made the horse look back into Ryura's beautiful eyes like a man who dared to look at a woman directly in his tent.
When saying so, of course Ryura's answer was that he knew the horse in front of him was a stallion. And he likes a stallion rather than a female.
"Fheurrbb..."
"..." There's no word from Ryura. He was silent after getting an answer that he himself did not expect to feel. In the past he also often felt like that when facing any type of animal but not to this amazing.
The feeling of amazement as his mind seemed to be able to interpret the indistinct sound that the horse gave. The voice seemed to say firmly...
"You're not a hunter and I feel that!"
Ryura and the horse were shrouded in silence with eyes that would not escape each other for some time. Until Ryura's voice was able to make the dashing black stallion neigh happy to lift both of his front legs up to stand with his back legs only.
"Furby! That's your name now!" he said without cue and was heard loudly even though wrapped by the usual pitched voice typical Ryura Jenna. The name that just appeared after hearing how the horse let out its voice.
With a flat look without any implied expression, but still do not close the fact that the dark horse likes Ryura is also the reason why he is very happy to get the name of the human girl he likes.
His head moved and his legs were stomped to the ground cheerfully as a form of expression of wanting to be ridden immediately by Ryura. He's very impatient.
But, the pleasure was gone when he never got a reply from the human girl he had now made to be beside him to make it easier for him to go up to his back.
In the face of Ryura's sad face but not also make Ryura flinch. It made him seem to have no feelings when there are other living things show their love for him.
Long silence.
"What do you want me to ride?" ryura asked breaking their silence. Furby looked puzzled at the girl's strange question.
Knowing the meaning of Furby's gaze, Ryura makes it clear even briefly. "Employer or friend?" the question instantly gave a twinkle in the jet black eyes of the stallion.
"Fheurrbb.." After Ryura got the answer to his question, he immediately climbed Furby's back in his cool style which was clearly not made up until he sat perfectly on it with his strapping.
"HIKHIKHIKHIKHIK." raised his front leg in spirit and then in a powerful stomp and immediately drove with his dazzling dashing as if to show Ryura he is a wild stallion that is very special.
Had Ryura known that he was a species of horse that many people, especially nobles, Ryura would not have been proud to have. But, after Furby saw and observed Ryura's figure briefly. He had only one conclusion, that the girl would not be affected by anything even if it was a special horse like him.
Although a little disappointed, but one thing he likes from Ryura. The girl is not a human who thinks her human self is a high-level creature. It was obvious when Ryura himself made two choices that he had never heard from the humans he had met while trying to catch him. Most of these humans more often think of animals as creatures that are so despicable that they do not deserve to be treated too special other than being fed and bathed only to be cared for, however, ancient humans used horses as their means of transportation.
That's why Ryura is different. Make him promise to accompany her under any circumstances during her life and Ryura.
*box!
Clot!
Box*!
The sound of a speeding horse leg passed with its rider. A moment later a handsome man came out of his hiding place with an inauspicious smile as he presented an unexpected sight.
"God! How interesting! I didn't expect, that girl was so easy to get that 'Moon Horse'." the man chuckled incisions to himself.
"I pursued it from a distant place for days until it reached this forest carefully so that I was not caught infiltrating the territory of another kingdom. But, up here all I got was futility. That girl and horse really pissed me off!" his voice growled holding back angrily with clenched hands.
The grin appeared afterwards. "I've marked you a flat-faced girl! Someday we will meet again. And when that comes, I'll take back what should be mine!" promise steady.
"It will be difficult to face you. Considering you were quite good at fighting earlier. Looks like I also need preparation to be able to defeat you because you are not a girl that can be underestimated, and after that I will take back the 'Moon Horse' it's like you did with those robbers!" clearly, it turns out that he is a mysterious figure who had witnessed Ryura's action to finish off the robbers when the robber blocked his path.
The man had been there longer just to get a horse called the Moon Horse.
The Moon Horse is not an ordinary horse. It was a special species of horse. In addition to his larger body than a common horse, the moon horse also has a sensitivity strong enough to all his senses so that he knows which humans are good and not, he said, he can also be relied on in any situation such as observing the circumstances around whether threatening or not.
But I don't know why his sensitivity doesn't apply to Ryura?!
The Moon Horse is also a horse that can emit a beautiful light at night especially when it is exposed to the full moon. His strength and charm cannot be doubted.
The horse also has other privileges, such as blood can be made into a herb of either poison or medicine. Even his internal organs can be used for skin rejuvenation, especially his heart by eating raw. Not only skin rejuvenation, other organs besides the heart can also be used as a cure for some rare diseases or undetected by ancient medical science. This includes illnesses caused by magic.
Because it is said, the Moon Horse is a magic horse. Rare horses that are very difficult to find are also difficult to conquer. When hunted, either with arrows or swords can not easily hurt the horse's skin, either because it is thick or there is something invisible to protect it.
Or more specifically, because he is not just any horse.
And again, the Moon Horse is not easily recognized during the day except for those who know the characteristics of the horse, for example, its body is larger than the horse generally. But, if the night is very clear because of the unique sparkle that belongs to him.
And here is the question mark. If he goes with Ryura anywhere, doesn't that mean he will also appear wherever Ryura is included in the crowd at night though?!
How then?!
